Fluther Newborn General Questionshttp://www.fluther.com/Baby general questions awaiting your input on Flutheren-usSun, 02 Aug 2015 09:03:19 -0700kimchi asks: Why do I keep thinking about divorced parents?http://www.fluther.com/182854/why-do-i-keep-thinking-about-divorced-parents/<p>Yesterday, I saw photographs of my parents when they were happy. They looked so great&#8212;so happy. Now, since they are divorced, they changed a lot negatively. This has a big impact on me negatively. Today I cried myself to sleep thinking about how great it would be if my parents got back together and we would be one happy family. Sometimes I just want to punch myself for thinking and &#8220;obsessing&#8221; over these stupid thoughts. How do I stop thinking these impossible thoughts?</p>Sun, 02 Aug 2015 09:03:19 -0700http://www.fluther.com/182854/why-do-i-keep-thinking-about-divorced-parents/elbanditoroso asks: Can you buy vegetarian (or vegan) crayons?http://www.fluther.com/182851/can-you-buy-vegetarian-or-vegan-crayons/<p>I was reading that many crayons are made with some portion of stearic acid, which is derived from plants and animals.</p>
<p>Are there vegetarian crayons on the market?</p>Sun, 02 Aug 2015 06:21:28 -0700http://www.fluther.com/182851/can-you-buy-vegetarian-or-vegan-crayons/blueberry_kid asks: Please help fix this?http://www.fluther.com/182849/please-help-fix-this/<p>So I&#8217;m seriously sick of this.</p>
<p>For AP Spanish, we were given a packet that we are supposed to take notes on based on the different chapters that have different lessons for the grammar. It&#8217;s not hard, and I know that I can always google the sections of the grammar I need and take notes from a different website, but this just makes it way easier.</p>
<p>In the packet, she gives us a link to the online textbook that also allows us to use the online grammar videos that explain each lesson per section on the packet, but just my luck none of them work. I&#8217;ve emailed her and told her and she doesn&#8217;t seem to care or know how to fix it. I&#8217;ve opened these video links on 3 different browsers and I keep on getting the same stupid message: &#8220;Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file.&#8221; And when I try to look further into the problem, the Windows Help website just frustrates me even more because it doesn&#8217;t actually describe why I can&#8217;t play the file.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.classzone.com/cz/books/avancemos_4_2010/page_build.htm?id=resources/jsp/grammer_video/grammer_video" rel="nofollow">Here</a> is the link to all the notes I need to take. If it asks, it&#8217;s Modern Foreign Language in Ohio, High School level. The book is Avancemos Level 4 2010 and should look like <a href="http://i.imgur.com/blvhIkM.png" rel="nofollow">this</a> .</p>
<p>Please tell me this is an overall problem with everyone so I can send her another angry email explaining how much this sucks. I keep getting an error that doesn&#8217;t make sense and I don&#8217;t know how to fix it. Specifically from what I understand, the actual error code is Windows Media Player error C00D11B1. Please help me before I go nuts.</p>Sat, 01 Aug 2015 20:01:15 -0700http://www.fluther.com/182849/please-help-fix-this/ibstubro asks: What are the lenses made out of on touch screen phones?http://www.fluther.com/182845/what-are-the-lenses-made-out-of-on-touch-screen-phones/<p>It&#8217;s referred to as &#8220;glass&#8221;.<br />
Is that <em>accurate</em>? Is it truly, literally <strong>glass</strong>?<br />
If so, that&#8217;s insane!</p>Sat, 01 Aug 2015 18:43:09 -0700http://www.fluther.com/182845/what-are-the-lenses-made-out-of-on-touch-screen-phones/srmorgan asks: A former colleague posted on Facebook that he was going back to Ireland for his late father's Month's mind. Anyone know what this is?http://www.fluther.com/182841/a-former-colleague-posted-on-facebook-that-he-was-going-back/<p>As I said, someone posted that he was returning for his late father&#8217;s month&#8217;s mind. His father passed away recently. <br />
I am not close enough to query him about it ( we worked together in the 90&#8217;s) but I have never heard the expression,if I have got it right.</p>Sat, 01 Aug 2015 14:10:24 -0700http://www.fluther.com/182841/a-former-colleague-posted-on-facebook-that-he-was-going-back/srmorgan asks: OK, I cracked the glass on my phone, what are my options besides buying another one?http://www.fluther.com/182839/ok-i-cracked-the-glass-on-my-phone-what-are-my/<p>I cracked the glass, fumbling for the phone when it was out of its case. <br />
It is pretty well cracked. Works fine, hard to read some parts of the screen, worried about glass shards.</p>
<p>Anything I can do short of tossing it in the trash and buying a new one?<br />
It is a Droid Turbo, purchased last December</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

I&#8217;m always seeing people set &#8220;buy a house&#8221; as one of their life goals.<br />
I never felt like owning the place I live would be worth it. I&#8217;m not really sure what the big advantage of home ownership is supposed to be. I can think of more disadvantages than I can advantages.<br />
Is it overrated, or am I just ignorant?</p>Fri, 31 Jul 2015 20:46:33 -0700http://www.fluther.com/182826/why-do-people-seem-to-think-buying-a-house-is-such/rockfan asks: Do you have any regrets from high school?http://www.fluther.com/182825/do-you-have-any-regrets-from-high-school/<p>My biggest regret is not telling the principal and superintendent how awful my freshman and sophomore teachers were. They hired football and soccer coaches to teach history, science, and math and they handed us packets every day, and they let us listen to music, watch movies, and play poker during class. I read an interesting article in Time magazine that argued that having bad teachers like this should be against students rights. But at the time, I was a stupid 15 year old and glad that we weren&#8217;t doing any work. I got a rude awakening in junior year and I wasn&#8217;t prepared at all. I also regret not participating in debate class, drama class, and Young Democrats. instead, my parents forced me to join marching band.</p>
<p>What about you? Do you regret anything that you did or did not do in high school?</p>Fri, 31 Jul 2015 20:31:01 -0700http://www.fluther.com/182825/do-you-have-any-regrets-from-high-school/ragingloli asks: Why do some people believe that stage magicians have actual supernatural power?http://www.fluther.com/182821/why-do-some-people-believe-that-stage-magicians-have-actual-supernatural/<p>Some people actually believe that stage magicians have actual magic power.<br />
Some even believe that they are in league with demons.<br />
